Safe Harbor Statement
This presentation contains forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements regarding potential indications for, and planned development of, product candidates in NGM’s pipeline, including aldafermin; the planned timing of initiation, enrollment and results of NGM’s clinical trials; the potential activity, complementarity, safety, tolerability and efficacy of NGM’s product candidates, including aldafermin and specifically including its differentiation and the potential benefits of extended treatment with aldafermin; NGM’s option to participate in the economic return of any programs licensed by our collaborator, Merck; NGM’s expectation of potential value-driving catalysts and the timing thereof; and any other statements other than statements of historical facts. Because such statements deal with future events and are based on NGM’s current plans, objectives, estimates and expectations, they are subject to various significant risks and uncertainties and actual results, performance and achievements and the timing of events could differ materially from those described in or implied by the statements herein. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, those associated with the costly and time-consuming pharmaceutical product development process and the uncertainty of clinical success, including risk related to failures or delays in successfully initiating, enrolling or completing clinical trials; the risk that results obtained in NGM’s clinical trials to date may not be indicative of results obtained in ongoing or future trials, including pivotal trials, including the risk that ongoing or future studies show that aldafermin is not a tolerable or effective treatment for NASH patients; the COVID-19 pandemic, which may significantly impact (i) our business and operations, including out of our headquarters in the San Francisco Bay Area and our clinical trial sites, as well as the business or operations of our manufacturers, contract research organizations or other third parties with whom we conduct business, (ii) our ability to access capital, (iii) the value of our common stock and (iv) the future decisions of our collaborator; the time-consuming and uncertain regulatory approval process; seeking and maintaining protection of intellectual property; NGM’s reliance on third party manufacturers and delays or problems in the manufacture of product candidates; the sufficiency of NGM’s cash resources and need for additional capital; and other risks and uncertainties affecting NGM and its research and development programs, including those described under the caption "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in NGM’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and future filings and reports of NGM with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements contained herein are made only as of the date hereof or as of the dates indicated in the forward-looking statements, even if they are subsequently made available by NGM on its website or otherwise. NGM undertakes no obligation to update or supplement any forward-looking statements after the date hereof, or to update the reasons why actual results may differ or differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.

Summary of Aldafermin Cohort 4 Preliminary Topline Results
21
• Meaningful improvements in histology regulatory endpoints: fibrosis improvement, resolution of NASH and the composite endpoint requiring achievement of both
• Aldafermin’s differentiated rapid dual anti-fibrotic and metabolic effect is evidenced by the significant improvements observed as early as two weeks
• Cohort 4 data suggest that the histological effects we observed at 12 weeks are sustained and potentially amplified with extended treatment
• Favorable tolerability profile: most common adverse events occurred with similar frequency in placebo and aldafermin arms

• Potential to be once-monthly injectable insulin sensitizer for treatment of NASH and T2D
• Completed Phase 1 SAD/MAD study in obese, insulin resistant subjects and Phase 1b study in subjects with NAFLD
• Single dose of NGM313 resulted in significant reductions in liver fat content and improvement in metabolic markers based on preliminary data from a Phase 1b study in obese, insulin resistant subjects with NAFLD after five weeks
• Well-tolerated across Phase 1 and Phase 1b studies
• Merck exercised its option and licensed NGM313 and other FGFR1c/KLB agonists in 4Q18

CNV (Wet AMD)
GA (Dry AMD)

Larger or more numerous drusen, +/- pigmentary changes
Early AMD
Small or intermediate drusen, +/- pigmentary changes
• GA is the dry form of advanced AMD, characterized by progressive and irreversible loss of photoreceptors, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and choriocapillaris
• GA is typically bilateral and lesion enlargement results into irreversible blindness
• GA affects ~5 million people globally and ~ 1 million people in the US
• Currently no approved treatment for GA
